“Since the homeowners were open and excited about taking design chances, we were able to make bold statements where needed while also creating a classic atmosphere. The use of textured wallcoverings made from unconventional materials like cork and bamboo elevate the style of this interior. The use of elegant fabrics and furnishings show a sense of refinement. The interior of this home reflects its owners: stylish, sophisticated, elegant, and interesting.”

The judges said: “This is a lovely home in terms of architectural scale and matching interior treatments to that scale. The palette tones are soothing, welcoming, and friendly. There’s opulence here, but it’s not unapproachable.”

“Delaware Beach House”

“We tackled the top-to-bottom redesign of this Delaware beach house with two goals in mind: create an elegant, comfortable retreat and maximize the stunning water views. We used a classic coastal color palette of blue, white, and sand. The wood floors and accent pieces bring warmth to the space. The finished result is a beautiful home in harmony with its beachfront setting.”

The judges said: “Its interior elements are spot-on for the type of home that it is. They are well pulled together and give a cohesive look to the home. There is a great meld of texture, color, and pattern.”
